Nylon filament yarn prices continued to drift on low operating pressure on softening caprolactum and semi-dull nylon chips prices.
In China, nylon yarn makers trimmed operating rate resulting from poor demand at home and abroad with the approaching of lunar New Year. To top it, they operated at breakeven and faced supply glut, giving rise to poor confidence.
Fishing-net yarn and monofilament makers saw meager margins while cord fabric makers struggled to make two ends meet. Meanwhile, staple fiber makers enjoyed favorable profit margins.
